Slime Pup

Template:Gootraxian Slime Pups are one of the main Gootraxians in Kaiju Paradise.

They are small, quadruped, dog-like creatures made of a type of slime with a eyes and eyebrow on the facial mask, tinted to whatever color variant they are. They come in many colors, such as red, white, lime, and cyan.

Abilities

Slime Pups can wear certain objects on their heads like a hat, such as buckets or yellow cones. Wearing a "hat" increases their max health by 15 HP, giving regular variants 95 max HP total.

Bite

Slime Pups can bite Humans (11 DMG) and Gootraxians (5.5 DMG)<ref>https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992694574231335022/unknown.png</ref> every 4 seconds. The target is shown the following dialogue upon being bitten:

• Ouch! A slime pup bit you..

If the Slime Pup tries to bite again within the cooldown it will show the following dialogue:

• So tired.. I need to take a [Number] second break first.

Steal

Slime Pups can steal and hold various items from Humans. The ability can used every 15 seconds. However, the Slime Pup's jump cooldown will increase by 1.5 seconds while holding a stolen item.<ref>https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992694727323422730/unknown.png</ref> They cannot steal items from Humans wearing hazmat suits. If a Slime Pup holding an item is attacked, the item will be dropped, allowing other players to grab the item. Slime Pups are also unable to use items they have stolen, and stolen items will not appear in the pup's inventory.

The target is shown the following dialogue upon losing an item to a pup:

• A slime pup stole your [Item]..

And in a 1/60 chance (~1.67% in percentages) to show this instead:

• A slime pup ran your pockets..<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/906311605774614598/1076973105186078771/image.png</ref>

Slime Pups can steal the following items:

Public server items:

• Bats
• Bottles
• Knives
• Medkits
• Any food items
• Tasers
• Bloxy Cola
• Witchbrew
• Flashlights
• Strange Fruits
• Strange Flowers
• Fireworks
• Plushies
• Nunchucks

Private server items:

• Claymores/Land mines
• Contraband
• Whoopee cushion
• Dance grenade
• IT

Admin exclusive items:

• LMX-AP
• Kawaii Bat

Slime Pups used to be able to steal Pipes and Axes, but this ability was removed for unknown reasons.

Eat

Slime Pups also eat food to restore HP, being able to do so every 10 seconds. However, eating a lemon or shaken cola will instead damage the Slime Pup (as well as fling and ragdoll the pup if a shaken cola was eaten). Eating a Strange Crystal will eventually transform the Slime Pup into a Rainbow Slime Pup.

Ride

Slime Pups can use ride to get on a player's back if the person stays close by, getting off if they unequip the tool. It takes 5 seconds to get on someone's back, and they can be forced off a player's back by dealing any damage to them or by walking into the forcefield at spawn. Attempting to ride a Panther will get them slammed onto the ground and cause them to lose 45 HP. If slammed enough, they can be killed. The following messages will be shown upon a slime pup attempting to ride the player:

• You felt something heavy climbing onto your back..
• You suddenly felt something heavy on your back..

The Slime Pup will be shown the following messages if the player they try to ride on walks away or if the player is invulnerable:

• You try to get onto [Player Name]'s back..
• They walked away..
• You can't ride on their back..

• A pup riding a player.
  A pup riding a player.

When a pup is riding a player's back, said player will receive a Passive Healing buff that scales over 20 seconds, which heals the player by an exponential amount every 0.75 seconds before capping out at 1 health per 0.75 seconds. Overall, this offers an 43% increase in passive healing overall, which can potentially shave off up to a minute of time spent healing if the player were to regenerate from minimum health.

The equation used to determine how much healing received from the Passive Healing buff, is as follows:
<math>(Time/20) ^ 2</math> This value is applied as healing every 0.75 seconds and cannot exceed 1.
<math>Time</math> = Time spent riding player.

Sleep

They can sleep, in which contrary to popular belief, does not increase regeneration. However, it does lower their hitbox making them much harder to hit.

Variants

Ghost

Ghost Slime Pups have and have a unique levitating sleeping animation, of which is purely cosmetic.

Golden

If the Golden leaves the game, a golden grave with 300 HP will spawn and function similar to them in order to get the rewards. The Golden itself won't be able to see or interact with the grave if they rejoin.<ref>gravestone

Diamond

Diamond Slime Pups have 900 HP.<ref name=":0" /> When hit, they drop credits that scale to the amount of damage dealt to them. They also drop 1,000 <ref>Update log of credit nerf https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/595547279965028355/1064357435415990363/IMG_8993.png </ref> to whoever landed the killing blow as and send out a flurry of more credits that other players can pick up, as well as a Diamond Crate. The amount of credits showered out scales to the amount of players in the server and each ticket worth 20 - 25 .<ref name=":1" /> Upon leaving, they will still drop a Diamond Crate along with the standard flurry of credits.

The Credit Scaling System is as follows:
If <math>Player Amount</math> is less than 17 then the credit amount would instantly be 35.
Otherwise, it will be <math>(Player Amount * 3)</math> instead.

These rare variants are unable to die by running into the forcefield in the spawn area, getting crushed by the gates or by resetting. They are unable to restore their HP entirely under normal circumstance such as eating food<ref name=":1" /> or by regenerating HP over time.<ref name=":0" /> They also cannot use the ride tool on any players. Any attempt of the rare variants using the command "!rejoin" will instead message the user in the chat: "[SERVER] You cannot escape."

Acquirement

There are 7 common Slime color variants and 3 rare variants.

In private servers, they can all be obtained by using the command :tf me Slimepup;color=[color]

Normal/Event

Normal Slime Pups are obtained by losing all of your HP to the blue puddles on the floor of the facility and in the cave. Doing this during a Power Outage will result in you turning into a Red Slime Pup, with glowing, red, crystal spines along its back. During Blackouts, you will instead turn into a white Slime Pup with a ghostly, white, translucent body and a wispy tail.

Golden and Diamond

Golden Slime Pups have a 1/250 (0.4%) chance of being your color. The chance is lower when there are below 15 players in a server, at 1/750 [0.13%].<ref name=":2">chance to obtain update log https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992375543364325447/unknown.png</ref> Getting this rare variant will reward you with the "A Rare Variant" badge and the "Aureate" bat skin.

Diamond Slime Pups have a 1/500 (0.2%) chance of being your color. The chance is lower when there are below 15 players in a server, at 1/1500 [0.07%].<ref name=":2" /> These variants are the rarest Gootraxians in the game.

Neither of these rare variants can be obtained during events.

Rainbow

You can become a Rainbow Slime Pup that shifts through multiple colors by eating a Strange Crystal from a survivor's hand. You will get the Perficiendus Perfectum badge from this as well as the Rainbow Bat skin by feeding Slime Pups the Strange Crystal as a survivor.

Alternatively, they can be achieved in private servers by nicknaming yourself a certain name or by using the :rb, rb [player] command.

Tips

Please note that most things listed in this section are not objective, and are not the "Correct" way to use them. This section is used to give advice to players who want to learn how to use their tools more efficiently.

• Survival as a Slime Pup is very challenging as the bite and steal cooldown is long and not efficient for PVP.
• Be with groups of Gootraxians as it will increase your chances of survival as a Slime Pup and it will make your steal ability more useful.
  • Biting while in groups can damage those you are helping so only use it as a last resort.
  • Hazzys are the strongest when they first transform and have a sickle.
• Using the terrain to your advantage is a necessary tactic as you are smaller than humans so you can use tables, shelves, and possibly the hang in the support room.
• When stealing, players may attack you because you stole an item and they want it back. So if you do this often, the best option is to be away from the human team when you are alone or you are with a Gootraxian that is not good at PVP when they are alone.

Bestiary Entry

A small, dog sized creature that is translucent, with a skull like mask on the front. They can vary in colors. These creatures are the first of the neutral species that have been created, and have been noted to follow humans and infected around, expecting food and pets. They're often childlike, but on rare occasions the aggressive biters are seen to grow in size, and eventually form into a Slime Hound. Slime Pups are often extremely curious, but lazy. They sleep around a lot, and will even sleep on your back if you let them. If one is bothering you, just give it a treat or something.

Trivia

• It is the first Gootraxian in the game to have abilities that are not the standard attack and grab.
• Any time a Slime Pup was hit, they made a squeaking noise.
  • This trait is shared with Slime Dragons and Hounds, the latter playing a lower-pitched sound.
  • As of late, however, this effect has since been removed for all slime creatures.
• Slime Pups are the only Gootraxians in the game to have the size value of 0.8 (Based off of the private server's size command).
  • They are also one of four Gootraxians to have a different size value, the others being Slime Dragon Pup (being 0.882), Kaiju (being 1.1) and Witchbrew (being 0.85).
• Using the Pat emote on a Slime Pup will result in a special reactive animation with unique heart particle effects.
  • This effect also occurs if the Slime Pup rides on a Slime Dragon or Hound that are of the same color.
• Slime Pups stealing bats started as a mistake that hadn't been fixed. Now, it is an ability all Slime Pups are capable of using.
  • If a Rainbow Pup steals a bat that uses particles or trails, such as Batsabers or Nebulas, the particles will change colors in sync with the rainbow.
• Slime Pups used to be able to slide under the shelves easily due to their small size.
  • You can no longer do this, as they added a barrier for them.<ref>https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992694574482989056/unknown.png</ref>
  • However, there are some gaps that can still be slid under, such as the tables in the Main Hall.
• The nickname method of making Rainbow Slime Pups references the infamous "jeb_" Rainbow sheep easter egg from Minecraft.
• As confirmed by a developer, Slime Pups' face masks were based on apple cores, the eyes being seeds and the mask color being similar to the inside of an apple.
• According to their concept artist, they taste like fruit and the flavor depends on their color. Their tail is safe to eat; but eating anywhere else will turn you into them.<ref>(do note though that this is not in game, but lore) https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992694575057612831/unknown.png</ref>
• Originally, the Slime Pup was going to be lime-colored only.<ref>https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992694575347011675/unknown.png</ref>
• Killing a Slime Pup by feeding it a Lemon Slice will play a fart sound effect with extra reverb as it dissolves into nothing.
• Landing a final blow as a Golden Slime Pup using bite will turn the deceased player into gold, playing the money sound.
• If the player constantly hovers on and off of Slime Pup's Bestiary icon, the icon will play a squeaking noise, like Slime Dragon and similar to Slime Hound.
• Diamond variants used to be a darker shade of blue, later changed to a lighter color likely to differentiate from cyan and to identify easier.<ref>Diamond color change update log https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/595547279965028355/1031658895057367050/IMG_4304.png</ref>
• According to their concept artist, the eyes of Slime Pups are in their mask, different from what many people think.
• Ghost Slime Pup variants used to turn invisible upon hit, similar to Ghost Fox. Currently, invisibility for ghost pup variants are no longer a thing.
• Ghost Slime Pup variants had a darker tint of gray as their ears and neck fur. Currently, the color is replaced with white.
• During 2022's April Fools event, the Red Slime Pup variant was replaced with the Lean Slime Pup variant. Lean pups were just purple spiked pups.
• During 2022's Halloween event, the White Slime Pup variant was replaced with the Bloodmoon Slime Pup variant. Bloodmoon pups were brown-orange eyeless pups with invisibility.
• Rainbow Slime Pups play the OST "Transit" composed by Fishcracks upon using the emote "Smug".
  • Alternatively, Rainbow Pups can play "Transit" when riding a player upon using the emote "Smug".
• Rainbow Slime Pups' ability to play music while riding a player was originally added into the game during BlaxorReborn's experimental testing with the Ride tool after Blaxor had the idea to give a random Slime Pup a boombox and have the pup ride Blaxor while playing the radio.
• Ghost Slime Pup variants used to be able to go through doors/gates.

•

Bugs

• Slime Pups were temporarily able to ride other pups by riding other Humans and then having the Human turn themselves into a Slime Pup themselves via puddles, allowing players to dog pile as Slime Pups.
  • It was patched a few minutes later in release of the Ride tool during experimentation.
• During ones of the rework for "Steal" in experimental, Slime Pups could temporary steal boomboxes from Night Shades, this has been fixed.
• There was a bug that sometimes caused a Slime Pups ability to ride players unusable.
• During the Hallows Eve update, pups were unable to eat anything at all.
  • There was also a bug that allowed slime pups to appear inside a player's chest by sleeping then riding a player.

Just like a chestburster!

• There was a bug where Pups were able to purchase bats from Abble's Shop. This was later fixed.
• There was a glitch that Slime Pups can use by utilizing the Sleep tool and Shift Lock. Snapping the camera to break the extended player's body through a wall and into an unreachable place is an infamous glitch used by many players.
  • There was another bug where, if multiple pups grabbed a bat at the same time, they would both grab it, causing a "fusion". It was possible for more than 2 of them to fuse together.
• There was a bug in Private servers where Slime Pups could eat roombas. It was fixed at an unknown date.
• There was a bug if you "ride" someone's back as a ghost variant, you will lose your ability to phase through players/doors.
